Harder to be taken advantage of if you know the means by which one takes advantage of another.

Knowing the wealthy need you more than you need them lets you make stronger demands and form unions.

Being knowledgeable gives you job security and independence, you have intrinsic value as a capable resource - and if spurned can become a troublesome enemy because you understand your opponent and can take advantage accordingly

Knowledge is absolutely power, and power gives you opportunity for freedom to choose how to live your life.
